Hey everyone, I hope you guys have been having a great week ! I have been having a good one too. Learning lots of new things, making new friends and getting inspired. I am writing this post for a good friend of mine, who is going to be celebrating her first anniversary on Halloween !!! Well I hope you guys have a wonderful, blessed and happy life together :). And I was thinking why not start your new year together with something fresh, fruity and healthy .. YES, thats what the Watermelon Cake is all about.
Before, we get to the recipe I want to share with you something I read online in the local papers. I read this rather sad story about Josh Bridge, who lost his wife in a tragic road accident two days after getting married. It would have been devastating, It made me realize just how precious life is and to value the important people in our life. At once, I was thankful and said a quick prayer for my husband who is first a good friend, support and guide and for my family, my biggest strength and asset. Well, I didn't tell you this story, so that you get sad or emotional, just a reminder to be thankful for all the wonderful people in your life :) ..
Well let's get on with the Recipe now, here's what you 'll need to make the make
1 large elongated watermelon
1 box each of strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
1 box of edible flowers
2-3 kiwi fruits
1 bunch of mint leaves
First peel off the green skin of the watermelon, you might want to use a sharp fruit knife to quickly cut off the thick green skin. Be careful to do this part, as you dont want to cut out or spoil the shape of the watermelon.
Once the watermelon is peeled completely, cut the ends of the watermelon, so that u get a perfect circular base for a cake. Imagine you are cutting the ends of an egg kept horizontally, you would then end up with a piece which was a thick disk, thats what we'll do to the watermelon as well.
If you have a Pizza pan,line it with silver foil and place the watermelon on it. Line the watermelon with black berries/ strawberries. Place the sliced kiwi fruits on the side of the watermelon. Place mint leaves in a N-S, E-W direction. This is just a guide, loose your fear and explore your creative side. Use the edible flowers to write what you want on the cake, make it fun !!!
You can refrigerate the cake for 4-5 hours and enjoy the cool refreshing watermelon !!! :). I am sure it will be an easy way to impress your friends and family , Enjoy...
